Newly Licensed Investors and Training
While interviewing a new agent (6 months in) she stated that when she completed her NC state exam that she had no clue how to buy or sell a home and that she was grateful for her BIC's training program. While I understand that the Licensing classes do not focus on how to build a real estate business (getting leads etc.), would you expect a new agent to understand enough to buy/sell their own flip properties?
How much hand holding did you really need in order to close your first deals? Is the training offered by the larger organizations beneficial to the investor who is interested in flipping more so than being retail focused?
